No, that's not what it's saying.  You will not be backing out the V1.0
update; you will be removing the recovery data set that would have
allowed you to back out the update had you encountered problems with it.
It's a normal if eccentric part of applying patches on VMS that the
recovery capability is a fleeting one that disappears with application
of the next patch.
